  • Session 1 (July 1-13): This is for the purists out there who want to experience camp for a solid 2 weeks. What could be better?
  • Session 2 (July 15-21 & 21 - 27): Something for everyone - stay for one or both weeks, your choice.
  • Session 3 (July 29 - Aug 4): A one week session - great for first-timers.

Pick-Up and Drop Off Times

Please arrive between 2 and 4 pm on the first day of camp. If you arrive earlier than 2pm, there are many things to see and do in Grass Valley and Nevada City, but camp will not be open for registration until 2:00. If you are delayed, please call us to let us know if you may arrive later than 4:00.

Please plan to pick up your child between 9:30am and 11:00 am on the last day of camp.

Shuttle Service

A Bay-Area shuttle is provided at the beginning and end of each session for the convenience of families travelling long distances.

Discounts Available

  • Returning Campers: bring a friend who hasn't been to camp before, and get $50 off your own tuition!
  • Families registering more than one camper get $50 off per child.
  • Sierra Friends Campers registered for more than one week get $100 off per week.

Work Trades

Work trades are a fun way to make camp more affordable. In exchange for a week of helping with the work of camp, you will receive $350 toward one child's tuition at camp. The work is approximately 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. While not working, enjoy reading, playing music, and walking to the river (a 3 mile hike from our campus). Please contact us if you are interested in doing a work-trade this summer.

Camperships

We do everything we can to make camp possible for all regardless of financial limitations. If your son or daughter wants to attend camp and you are unable to afford the full price of tuition, please contact us and we will work with you to make sure they can come. The deadline for financial aid has been extended to June 1. Requests made after this deadline will still be considered if funds are available.
